They’ve possibly landed long on a short wet runway with a TWC approaching limits. Could’ve been carrying excess speed (easy to do on an NG) and maybe an inappropriate autobrake setting and possible late application of reverse thrust (think Midway Accident a few years back). All speculation and I sympathise with the guys at the coal face. The aircraft is renowned to bite in similar scenarios. I’ll be interested to see the NTSB report when it becomes available however I do wonder what’s pushing people into accepting approaches on to RW08 with a tailwind at BUR?
